There is a filter caller ACDSeeEOD downloadable from Here which adjusts levels for a clip and can give good results especially on old transfered 8mm film. The trouble with it is, depending on the content, it will adjust during a pan or when someone walks in front of the camera etc.

How easy would it be for a programmer to take a filter like that and make it write a log file that shows all the adjustments that were made for each frame? That way, you could choose a frame that has good settings for a whole scene or clip, find out what was adjusted, and make those adjustments manually with other filters.

An easier way -- for the user anyway -- would be a filter that allows you to sample a frame, work out the corrections it thinks would be good for it, and show the results. Maybe even let you run those settings through the whole clip.

I don't know if there are many programmers on this forum or whether this would interest them but it doesn't hurt to ask.
